CLUB MEETINGS

The Chicago Area Timex Users
Group meets on the THIRD
Saturday of each month at the
home of our meeting coordinator

Steve Cooper in Downers Grove,
Illinois from 1:00 to 5:00 PM.
Steve's home is lovingly called
the CLUB HOUSE and is located
at 1300 Maple Street in Downers
Grove just 2 blocks southwest
of the Downers Grove Public
Library. Steve should always be
contacted evenings at 708/968-

Chicago Area Timex Users Group

SECRETARY'S NotePad

March 19, 1994

Meeting began at approximately
2:30 P.M. Members present:
Nazir Pashtoon, Steve Cooper,
Frank Mills, Larry Sauter, Abed
Kahale, Jeff De Courtney, Cy
Herre, John Donaldson, and Bob
Swoger.

Discussion about what ZXir
QLive Alive! would do to inform
members of their membership
dues status. Adding an
expiration date to the label
for mailing, and in the
software (mailing list), of the
amount of time left of the
subscription for the
newsletter.

A disc was received from Al
Feng called "QLamber". John
Donaldson had an unfavorable
review of the program because
of a bug caused by incorrect
operating system compatibility.

Nazir brought up the
possibility of duplicating the
Larry Kenny disc drive
interface, and the difficulty
of getting parts that will work
with repeatability in a small
production run.

A discussion about a person by
the name of Jelen who replaced

the components on the 2068 with
CMOS components including the
SCLD chip with CMOS parts to
promote efficiency of operation
that Abed received in a letter
from Don Lambert.

The same fellow said he tried
to solve the QL heat problem
which Nazir Pashtoon states is
a phony problem that has been
around since the inception of
the QL machine by some of the
development engineers who
couldn't explain possible part
incompatibility problems that
the machine was plagued with,
because there are really two
different problems mistakenly
lumped together as a heat
problem.

There was further discussion
about tacking our newsletter
onto ZXir QLive Alive! to
reduce expenses of mailing and
printing and possibly getting
more newsletter readers and
helping ZXir QLive Alive!, stay
alive because of dwindling
revenue in ZQA! Maybe there is
a need for a selection between
ordering all the issues ina
year as one volume. or getting
issues from the date of
subscription to one year after
ordering. Maybe ZQA! should run
the subscription like UPDATE!
runs their subscriptions,
ending in a fiscal year.

A further discussion about our
newsletter being slightly
delinquent in getting issues
out in time. Maybe we should
put a list of the members who
have paid up their dues for the
newsletter to promote
punctuality of paid up members.

A discussion about our
newsletter being the first one
to start off the tacking on to
ZXir OLive Alive! newsletter
and maybe some of the other
newsletters will pick up the
practice. We should mail a
letter to all the other groups
to see if they could see the
convenience of consolidating
the mailing of newsletters.

A vote was taken and passed
with one NAY vote by Nazir
Pashtoon to tack on the
newsletter to ZQA!. A motion
was taken to adjourn the
meeting, so till next month.

April 23, 1994

Meeting began at approximately
2:30 P.M. Members present were:
Jeff De Courtney, Cy Herre,
Larry Sauter, Steve Cooper, Bob
Swoger, Abed Kahale, Nazir
Pashtoon, Frank Mills.

A misunderstanding about the
merger (tack on) of Nite-Times
News and ZXir QLive Alive! was
discussed and Bob explained
that he did not mean a merger
of the two newsletter. Nazir
now understands that a merger
was not intended and only a
mailing of our newsletter in
the same envelope with ZXir
QLive Alive!

To decrease postage expenses
and printing time and expenses
was the intention. Do we really
Save money or not? Just the
Nite-Times News gets mailed to
the out-of-town people. Other
newsletters don't get mailed to
the out-of-town members. If you
want those other out-of-town
newsletters, you have to come
to the meetings at Steve
Cooper's home.

Gary Lessenberry may be
returning in the not too
distant future and settling
down in the Chicago area. We
will always welcome a former
member and contributor to the
group and also former president
of the Chicago Area Timex Users
Group.

Steve's monitor blew a fuse and
after putting a light bulb in
series with the line cord the
short cleared itself and all is
well with his monitor after a
make shift fuse was made by
Bob.

We no longer are receiving
newsletters from NESQLUG,
ISTUG, SMUG, Capital Area NY.

ciau EET T UN

We will not be mailing our
newsletter to these groups
because we haven't received a
newsletter from them for over a
year.

John Donaldson sent Abed a copy
of the QL public domain
library's contents. Paul
Holmgren through Don Lambert
sent 9 QL discs to Abed to be
sold as public domain for
$9.00. The proceeds less
expenses to be given to ZXir
QLive Alive! Abed mailed the
disks to John Donaldson who is
now the QL librarian of ZQA!
Don Lambert sent Abed a package
and a list of SNUG membership.
Abed was given the task of
sending out postcards to the
SNUG members giving them a
choice to receive UPDATE!,
IQLR, T/SNUG, donate to T/SNUG,
or get a prorated check. (Or,
get Hustler magazine. Ha Ha
Ha!) The meeting was adjourned.
See you next month.

Dave Lebowitz writes: Enjoyed
reading the copies of Nite-
Times News you forwarded to me
recently. Even though I'm not
an active CATUG member (or even
an active T/S user) anymore, I
Still enjoy reading about
what's going on.

I was struck by a comment in
the January/February issue. The
Secretary's NotePad column
mentioned a "new" word
processor called Spectral
Writer and extolled its
virtues. I thought I'd provide
a bit of background on that
product for those who might not
know about it.

Spectral Writer was part of the
bundled software that came with
the Rotronics Wafadrive an
English product that was
designed to be used with the
Spectrum. The Wafadrive was a
two drive system that utilized

very small tape cassettes. I
still own two of these devices
and had a lot of fun using them
- although they did tend to be
a bit unreliable as one could
easily lose data due to
stretching of the tapes.

I still have the original
Spectral Writer tape cassettes.
Not sure if they work since
it's been years since I had the
Rotronics drives in use. What
might be of interest to some of
the group members who are
interested in the word
processor is that I have the
original User Manual and would
be willing to send it to
whoever wants it if they'll let
me know that they would like to
have it. Best regards...

A Previously Undocumented
Feature in QLuMSi DOS v4.30
by Al Feng

As many of you know, Version 4
of the QLuMSi program has added
the following commands:

CD \

CD \[sub-DIRectory prefix]
MD N[sub-DIRectory prefix]
RD \[sub-DIRectory prefix]

Most people with a QXL, GOLD
CARD and FLP/RAM chip should
welcome the ability to access
sub-DIRectories.

The problem arises when you
decide you know longer wish to
have the sub-DIRectory on the
medium. It just doesn't seem
that easy to get rid of.

Maybe it was obvious to the
people at MIRACLE, or maybe I
didn't read the documentation
well enough that I received
with the FLP/RAM (and, this is
true for GOLD CARD
documentation, as far as I can
tell), but the only way that I
could figure out how to REMOVE
a sub-DIRectory was with the
WDELete command; and, this I
determined by accident!

Now, at first, I would WDELete
through the entire directory.
This was, often, tedious.

Trying to WDELete a specific
(empty) sub-DIRectory proved
fruitless.

At some point, I either had a
typo or a serendipitous moment,
and I realized that I might be
able to input an incomplete
filename $tring and get the
desired effect.

The 'RD \' command, therefore,
utilizes QDOS's WDEL command,
and the user defines the sub-
DIRectory by direct input and
can be used within OLuMSi
(v4.30) for designating a
specific string.

For example, if you were to
input:

RD \.doc

QLuMSi would then ask you if
you wanted to WDELete all the
_doc files. QLuMSi will also
prompt you for other " do()"
files. Obviously, some caution
must be employed by the user!

Both the "full" version of the
QLUMSi program as well as
version 4 of the COMMAND COM
program require that your QL
has the MAKE DIR command
available to it in addition to
the traditional TK2_EXT code.

To accommodate those who either
do not have a QXL, GOLD CARD,
Or FLP/RAM chip, a version of
the new QLuMSi program has been
included which does NOT require
MAKE DIR (hence, will not allow
you to "MAKE (a sub-)DIRectory"
on a medium. This is the
OLuMSi COMn program you will
find on your master disk (use
BOOT ALT).

KEYBOARD MANIA — Part 7
IXTIXIXIIÉZIIIXISIISIRIIIZEIIIIÉIRIIIIIIIIIIITIIIIIIIEISIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIXISgXÉESII
By Cedric R. Bastiaans Q Page D

XIII. A POTPOURRI OF ITEMS OF INTEREST

XIII.1 YET ANOTHER SURPLUS TI KEYBOARD

At the time that I'm writing this (end of May 786), Radio Shack has yet another
special purchase item (Cat. No. 277-1023), again a surplus TI keyboard.

This is reported to be a keyboard for the TI 99/4 (without the addition A).

Even though it has the same matrix (Fig.? of Part 3) as the other TI KB's, and it will
fit inside the 2058 case, whether it has the cutouts of Figure 14 or 23, it would not
be feasible to modify for use with our TS2068!

The reason: it is a membrane type keyboard! A real pity, since this item only costs
$3.95...

You couldn't even consider this keyboard for spare parts; keyswitches and keytops are
different from those of any of the three keyboard versions I know of.

Maybe some day, someone can come up with the proper translation circuitry to transform
the TI-99/4A matrix to the TS2068 matrix and put it on an EPROM. However, we may run
into a problem with certain simultaneous key-stroke commands, such as the the
combination G and H keys to restart "Horace Goes Ski-ing".

XIII.2 THE BALSAWOOD MASK

Another item, which appears to puzzle some of you, is the mask, which covers up the
ugly holes around the TI KB you have put in. | i
Figure 24 shows an exploded view of the 11 components. Dimensions are given in
MILLIMETRES (mm), but these are ONLY MEANT AS A GUIDE. Before cutting each part, check

the sizes you actually need for your particular KB. There are some dimensional
differences between KB’s!

The modified keyboard should be in place.
Cut the 1/8 inch balsawood ONLY with a #11 Xacto blade. Don’t use any type of saw!

Use a fast-cure two-component Epoxy adhesive to stick the wood parts to the metal
mounting brackets.

Use Elmer’s Professional Carpenter’s Wood Glue to glue wood to wood.
USE WAX PAPER BETWEEN THE MASK AND THE COMPUTER CASE, to prevent it from sticking

XIII.3 MULTI-PIN HEADER STRIPS
It seems that some people have a
problem locating these and it might
help if they knew what these
components look like. Well, here is a
picture of a 7-pin header strip.

XIII.4 THE TI KEYBOARD "MAKE-OVER"
Figure 25 on the left shows a
full-size photograph of a completed
keyboard with all of the printed
keytops as discussed in section XI.3
of Part 5.

Compare these with the original
keyboard of your TS2068 and see if it
doesn't make a lot more sense. I
suggest that you read sections XI.1.1
through XI.1.5 again so as to fully
understand my philosophy.

Another tip: in order to make for
surprisingly durable keytops, using
the printed labels, it is important
that you use a good brand clear spray,
applied in many layers. I have had
good luck with Red Devil High Gloss
Clear Lacquer. It is an extra fast
drying spray and has an adjustable
nozzle. Adjust it for a HORIZONTAL
spray pattern.

Never spray the keytops while they are
in place. Remove them, make sure that
the labels have been properly
burnished and align the keys on-a
piece of sturdy corrugated cardboard
in S rows, leaving about one keytop
width all around each key.

USE DOUBLE-ADHESIVE TAPE to prevent
the keys from shifting about.

Spray in a dustfree environment and
spray in slightly overlapping vertical
movements.

Turn the cardboard substrate 90
degrees and spray again. Repeat this
two more times and allow to dry for
several hours. Repeat the entire
process one more time. When you're all
done, the top surface of each key has
had 8 coats and each vertical surface
has had 2. Right?

This concludes my Keyboard Mania
series. I hope that it gave you the
impetus to try your hand on a

worthwhile hardware project! I would
appreciate hearing from you. Good

luck! - OL. & Bastiaans

TRAT HOU need TO Clarify wyour iNSTPUCTIONS = bit more ~ I
*vspeCiallu if There are more Than ome Kind OF Keuboerd GUT
There. Looking Forward TO Your repiy - or mention oF iT in the
article, etc. Lt:

1
In FRE dat Part 3 I have clearly identified TWO Texas Instruments TI-99/44 Keyboards, both of t+orergn sake. US law
requires that all imported goods be properly identified as to the country of manufacture.
Therefore, if your TI keyboard does not have any such indication, it siaply aeans that it was aade here in the USA.
It is very unfortunate that your keyboard shows the same 1039019-! nusber as the ALPS-sade KB, which has - contrary to your
KB - a recessed PCB.
More than 2 1/2 aonths ago, I wrote to Texas Instruments for clarification on all versions of their TI-99/4A keyboard, even
though I had no intention of trying to aodify ALL of such versions for inclusion in the TS 2068 computer case. After all,
who has the tiae or the aoney for such a aassoth project. I just wanted the inforsation so that I could advise people with
questions, just like you. TI has elected not to answer ay letter.
Anyway, it should be clear that the trace cutting instructions given in page C of Part 3 do not apply to your particular KB.
I clearly indicated in line 11 of page A, Part 3, that the procedures to be described were only for the KB in question, the
ALPS KB, made in Japan, with a recessed PCB.
No wonder then, that you could not sake head nor tail of ay trace cutting instructions. Once again, they don’t apply! And I
can certainly not comment on the descriptions with the illustrations that you gave in your letter. All I can say is, that
they have also no relation to the SE-JIN KB (made in Korea), full instructions of which will follow at a later date’.
As to your resark about the satrix drawing showing the Alpha Lock on the top. The eatrix is a SCHEMATIC depiction of wiring,
printed circuit or point-to-point. It is drawn for saxiaus CLARITY and in sost cases has little to do with the physical
layout of the components. Look at the keys in the matrix, aarked /,=,;,EN,SP,FN,CT and SH. These too are not depicted
according to their physical layout; and you can maybe imagine yourself how confusing the matrix would have become, if indeed
they had been!
Concluding, there is nothing for me to add to the already VERY CLEAR instructions in ay Keyboard Mania series. They just
don’t apply to your keyboard. l’a sorry.
All I can do, is point out to you that with the help of Figures 9 and 10 on Page B of Part 3, you should really be able to
find out which traces to cut and where to put jumpers. Figure 9 shows you the situation on your KB, whereas Figure 10 shows
you what it should become. Since you appear to have some aisconceptions about satrices, maybe | should tell you that if on
Figure 9, I have indicated that key Z is connected to key A, that it need not in actuality be so connected! Depending on how
the traces on the KB are laid out, key Z say be connected to key Q, or key 1, or key 0, or key P, or key 3 or key / or it
aay indeed be connected to key A! What REALLY matters is that all of these keys are on one side of their contacts,
ULTIMATELY CONNECTED to pin 8T of the 15-pin ribbon connector! ae
A final word: you don’t have to worry about the 29 keys depicted in thin blocks in Figure 10; these are already properly
connected, However, sometimes one or more of these keys get inadvertantly disconnected from their address or KBD lines,
because of the trace cuts necessary for the matrix aodifications of the other keys! A juaper to the appropriate point(s)
will correct such situations.
Thank you for your interest in ay article series and I hope that you will persist and eventually solve the matrix puzzle and
build the TI KB into your 2068. It is really worth the trouble... ~Cedric-
